3668. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "Abdullâh bin 'Amr bin Harâm died, leaving behind debts. I asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to intercede with his creditors so that they would waive part of the debt. He asked them to do that but they refused. The Prophet ﷺ said to me: 'Go and sort your dates into their different kinds: The 'Ajwah on one side, the cluster of Ibn Zaid on another side, and so on. Then send for me.' I did that, then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came and sat at the head or in the middle of the heaps. Then he said: 'Measure them out for the people.' So I measured them out for them until I had paid them all off, and my dates were left as if nothing had been taken from them." (Sahih)

٣٦٣٨ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ ‌مُغِيرَةَ ، عَنِ ‌الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرٍ قَالَ: «تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَرَامٍ، قَالَ: وَتَرَكَ دَيْنًا، فَاسْتَشْفَعْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى غُرَمَائِهِ، أَنْ يَضَعُوا مِنْ دَيْنِهِ شَيْئًا، فَطَلَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَبَوْا، فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: اذْهَبْ فَصَنِّفْ تَمْرَكَ أَصْنَافًا الْعَجْوَةَ: عَلَى حِدَةٍ، وَعِذْقَ ابْنِ زَيْدٍ عَلَى حِدَةٍ، وَأَصْنَافَهُ، ثُمَّ ابْعَثْ إِلَيَّ. قَالَ: فَفَعَلْتُ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَلَسَ فِي أَعْلَاهُ أَوْ فِي أَوْسَطِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: كِلْ لِلْقَوْمِ. قَالَ: فَكِلْتُ لَهُمْ حَتَّى أَوْفَيْتُهُمْ، ثُمَّ بَقِيَ تَمْرِي كَأَنْ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ».
